Even though class time was over, Harold called me to the sword training range during his personal time and started swinging his sword even before I was ready.

I was slowly getting mad at his shameless attitude, and I started thinking about how I could beat up this professor in front of me.

‘First of all, you should never receive this bastard’s sword. I have to somehow continuously dodge and move even half a beat faster… .’

In a battle between a swordsman and a swordsman, not being able to block a sword with a sword was a fatal weakness. Basically, moving the sword was much faster and required much less stamina than moving the body.

The good news was that Lilith was not a character with very low speed in 『Luminor Academy』, so it might be possible to somehow land a blow against Harold by properly using buffs, shockwaves, and support from the spirits.

“Magic power, wrap around my body!”

-Wheee!

“Vision, sharpen that blade!”

-Jaeaeang!

First, I used ventilation to increase my body’s basic specs, and I used sharp blades to strengthen my weapons.

Neither of these buffs lasted very long, but it didn’t matter. Anyway, if you don’t finish it within a short period of time, you have no chance of winning.

If this bastard is going to send me all the way to church, then I should just send him back. Part 2, the Boss, the Sword Master, and the Emperor’s 3 Swords, I had no intention of being scared by such a miscellaneous background.

‘Sally, every time I use shockwave, increase the power with a flame explosion. Sei, I’ll ask for assistance in moving with the tailwind.’

‘Just leave it to me!’

‘… okay.’

Even if you use mediocre attack magic against Harold, it will all be destroyed. If you’re going to take it down, it’s probably better to take it down with a sword.

I decided to focus all of my other magic and auxiliary methods on supporting a single sword strike, and first focused on avoiding Harold’s flying attacks.

-Wheee!

“… … !!!”

I quickly took a step back, startled by Harold’s blade, which was aimed precisely at my ankle.

There was a way to dodge into the air with Sei’s help, but I didn’t use it. The moment he took a step into the air to avoid that monster’s sword, he was able to drag that sword into the air and cut him down.

In a battle with a superhuman, I must never leave my body in a defenseless position even for a moment. And since one of the actions of putting one in that defenseless position was to carelessly levitate one’s body in the air, if a downward attack was made, the most standard evasive maneuver was to step back.

“… … Um.”

What the fuck is that sound? A dog like a dog, real.

I still don’t know what he’s thinking inside his head, but the sword spirit keeps swinging his long sword with the intention of cutting my body, and I hurriedly move my body accordingly and adjust my posture with shock waves, trying to deal with the crisis that is coming in front of me. did.

‘My magic casting speed is a little faster than Harold’s sword swing speed… .’

The problem was that I couldn’t ‘predict’ my magic while avoiding his sword.

Casting a prediction in front of that crazy guy who could immediately change the path of his sword after checking whether the opponent took his steps off the floor or not was essentially the same as showing me my next dodge position.

If I could predict exactly how Harold would swing his sword, I would have the opportunity to create an opening through continuous evasion and stab the sword in his side. If that was possible, then I was the sword master, not that guy, in the first place.

The next most realistic option was to wait for Harold to make even one mistake… Unfortunately, unlike the Harold in the game, the Harold in this world was not an easy person.

‘In the first place, Harold in the game went crazy because of Ethan’s death.’

Unlike games where the main character was forced to create weaknesses in order to win, the Harold of this world was a swordsman who never let down his guard.

In this impenetrable gap, my body gradually began to tire.

‘Fuck… . It’s really nice just once, fuck it… .’

Let me feed you once on the side of the baby.

I don’t mind being sick for a few days as a side effect, so give me a chance to hit that damn bastard.

It’s not because I’m sparring or anything, but because I really want to hit you with a punch.

With that thought in mind, I used my energy to avoid Harold’s attack with the help of all kinds of auxiliary magic.

‘… … uh?’

It felt as if time had stopped and several golden trails appeared before my eyes, giving me the feeling of déjà vu I felt when I fought Natalie just a few hours ago.

‘This can’t be… .’

Now that I think about it, I struck a sword along this trajectory a little while ago, and Natalie’s sword, which I couldn’t even see, bounced off.

If this trajectory represents Harold’s sword path as in the sparring with Natalie a moment ago… .

‘Demonstrate in advance that the shock wave will explode according to the expected path with triple casting, and make eye contact with Harold as much as possible to avoid creating a sense of discomfort. Anyway, Sei and Sally will take care of small errors and insufficient power.’

It is unknown whether this is truly the trajectory that predicts Harold’s path to the sword. Maybe what I saw in the sparring with Natalie a little while ago was just an illusion of my eyes.

However, since it was a battle in which victory could not be guaranteed without gambling, I decided to bet my future on the side that seemed to have the best chance of winning.

-Hwiik!

‘First of all, first thing.’

Harold’s sword strikes in one of three trajectories.

If it were me a little while ago, I would have started to move my body while quickly memorizing the shock wave, but now I have already placed the shock wave in the path of Harold’s sword.

I lightly bent my body to avoid the guy’s sword, and then walked half a step towards him.

“… … Hmm!”

-Wheee!

Harold swung his sword at me toward the second sword path with an unpleasant growl.

This time too, Harold was moving his sword to one of the two remaining trajectories, so the shock wave demonstrated in advance played a significant role, and my body, which dodged the attack with much more ease than the first attack, had room to swing the sword once.

-Sigh.

‘… Smile?’

Harold swings his sword one last time with an eerie smile whose intent is unknown.

There is only one trace left, and there is also one with Harold’s sword moving.

I didn’t hesitate any longer because I knew that they would avoid it even without me having to see it with my eyes. From now on, all I can think about is getting a hit somehow.

“… Good move. This is enough… .”

“Die!! 이 씨팔새끼야… !!!”

“… … Hmm?”

Harold suddenly withdrew his sword and said something, but my already hot head had no intention of withdrawing the dagger aimed at him.

The dagger in his left hand dug into Harold’s side at an opportunity to hurt Harold that would probably never come again in his life.

-Cow!

“Keueueu… !! Shibaaaal!!”

“… Calm down, dear. The reason I swung my sword without explanation was all for your growth, Lilith… .”

“I’m so excited… !! This Torai son’s arm -free wooden sword sword !!!”

“… No, wait… .”

For a moment, I thought I heard Harold’s voice sounding confused, but the dagger in my right hand was already digging straight into the guy’s side.

Even Harold, who blocked the first attack, seemed unable to defend my second sword.

-Phew!

“Keep, sigh… ?!”

The dagger in his right hand dug into Harold’s side with the sensation of piercing flesh.

This was the moment when the dagger with the Blackwood family symbol engraved on it penetrated the body of the head of the Blackwood family, and my head was filled with immense joy at the fact that his body allowed my attack for the first time.

-Aaaah!

“Sigh, big… . Heh, heh… .”

But no matter how many times you get hurt, a sword master is a sword master.

Basically, the basic strength of a human being in the ranks of a master was far beyond that of an ordinary person, and both my wrists were easily suppressed by Harold’s grip as he lowered his sword.

“Haa, haa, haa… .”

“… Man, you’re so excited. Cooling your head a little… .”

“Harold you fucking bastard… !!!”

“… … .”

“ If I’m fucking, let’s say, !! This fucking bastard is trying to kill me?!”

“… I didn’t mean to kill you, this was all for your training… .”

“Was it really that bad of me to stick around with Ethan?! You damn son, you idiot!! If it’s sparring, shouldn’t they at least be able to use training shields? Did you not like the fact that I was obsessed with your son, to the point where you had to stick a knife in my body to make me feel better?! huh?! 대답해 이 개새끼야아악… !!”

“… I’m sorry. I apologize for that.”

“Just say sorry for trying to kill someone… … … … Wait, apple?”

… Harold apologizes?

For a moment, I realized something was going wrong, and my head started to feel cold. Harold grabbed both of my wrists and gave me an additional explanation about the training that had just happened.

“For your training, I tried sparring without speaking on purpose, but regardless of growth efficiency, it wasn’t a very good method.”

“… … Training, huh?”

“Yes, practical training.”

… This is training?

This wasn’t an attempt to kill me, it was just training? Did you feel like you were living sincerely?

I thought Harold was upset when he saw me and Ethan fighting and was trying to vent his anger, but it wasn’t like that, it was just simple sword training?

“So, has your head cooled down a bit?”

“… … Master, what I just said wasn’t my truth, it was… .”

“You have a very shy personality. I didn’t know until now.”

“… … .”

The more I listen to Harold’s relaxed voice, the more I feel like my body’s blood is draining.

And when my cold head started to turn again, there was only one thought that came to my mind.

… Ah, I think this is messed up.
